SRE Policy We have a clear responsibility to ensure that students are adequately prepared for adult life. During their time in this school students will experience changes physically, psychologically and emotionally. At the same time they will become aware of changing social practices and conflicting values. This policy has been devised with the intention of helping students to form sensible, informed, mature and balanced judgements. An important feature of SRE at Unity Academy is that it is given in such a manner as to encourage students to have due regard to moral consideration and the value of family life. Equal Opportunities It is important that students are given a broad and balanced view of the world we live in.
